Every so often I have conversations with students that go a little like this…

“I’ve tried EVERYTHING and it just seems like nothing ever works… Like I’m never going to make it to even close to where you are… If you had to start over from scratch… what would you do?”

Most people would have NO IDEA how to answer this question… Even the supposed “Gurus” who you see peddling their junk online…

You see, I know most of the “Gurus” personally, and most of them got “lucky”… Maybe they’ve had some “Real” success, maybe they’ve made a lot of money or generated a ton of leads, and that is what they are spouting all over their lead capture and sales pages…

That they can show you exactly how to do it…

Well if that’s the case, why does it never turn out that way?

Why have you not seen the success that you’re hoping to achieve?

Why are you still broke?

Like I said already, most the time, these “Gurus” are nothing more than “One Hit Wonders”…

Maybe they found the “right” company… With the “right” product or compensation plan… Something that is the “Hottest” thing online for a time, but that nearly always turns out to be a flash in the pan. Maybe they have some huge success, make some waves in the industry…

But think about it… How many Huge successes have you seen blow up and crash in the last couple years?

Some people making thousands, hundreds of thousands or even millions over-night… Living the high life, and then the next thing you know, they program crashes, the members end up broke or worse, scrambling to figure out how to replace their lost income…

So what do they do? Put out an info product, or build a crappy “system” that’s going to show you how they did it…

Problem is, they didn’t, they just got lucky, and so whatever it is that they are trying to teach you, can only be made up or regurgitated garbage that they heard or read from some other “Guru”… Perhaps the one that they just got done crashing and burning with…

So what is the answer?

First you need to understand that the only REAL answer to how to create LASTING success, a REAL online business, is…

YOU

You need to get educated. Learn what it REALLY takes.

Put in the time, develop your skills, become self reliant so that your business is not dependent on any one program, company, product etc.

Sure, if there is something that is working for you, some program that is working and making a bunch of money, keep it up, hopefully it never crashes, but continue to learn, educate yourself, sharpen you skills, so that if something does go wrong, it won’t kill your business.

So how do you do it?

I’ve spent the last few months examining what I’ve done over the years, to get to where I am today…

Having sold MILLIONS of $ of stuff online, both my own and as an affiliate, generating over 600K leads, while spending no more than $5,000 of my own money on advertising to do it…

That’s less than a penny a lead, and most people are paying more than $.50-$1+ for a single visitor to their site…

I’ve had a full time, very successful business for more than 7 years now…

And I’ve developed a model, followed a “Formula” to get to where I am…

And I’ve been watching all the “REAL” Gurus, who have been around, and proven themselves over and over…

And pretty much without exception, they have ALL followed one version or another of the same formula that I have followed…

I’ve given my formula the name “8 Steps to 7 Figures”

It’s the exact process I have followed, over the last 14 years (7 years of FAILURE trying to figure it out and then 7 Years of MASSIVE Success)

And I’ve going to reveal it to you in part 2 of this article…

Stay Tuned…

If you’d like to get a head start on learning the formula, my most recent marketing system and education platform was designed to walk you step by step through the entire process…
